I didn’t invent the term, numbnutz:

Plantocracy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A plantocracy, also known as a slavocracy,[1] is a ruling class, political order or government composed of (or dominated by) plantation owners.

A number of early European colonies in the New World were largely plantocracies, usually consisting of a small European settler population relying on a predominantly West African chattel slave population (as well as smaller numbers of indentured servants, both European and non-European in origin), and later, freed Black and poor white sharecroppers for labour. These plantocracies proved to be a decisive force in the anti-abolitionist movement.

So are you now going to complain that plantocracies means plants ruling the world?!

Doesn't mean it wasn't invented. And incorrect at it's inception.
